At Venezuela’s Border, a Strange and Deadly Showdown Over Aid

Venezuela’s opposition went against President Maduro’s orders to donate aid to Venezuela. Two protesters were killed by Venezuela’s security forces when trying to block a road to prevent them from passing. The protestors were in disagreement with the President saying that “the population needs food and medication.” President Maduro shut the Brazil and Curacao borders in fear of a foreign invasion to “destabilize” him. “Venezuelans, who have suffered from years of deadly shortages of food and medicine, wonder if this is the end of the crisis that has engulfed their country.” People not being able to have access to food and medicine is cause by having a bad leader. Venezuelans are losing hope and faith in their country and will soon have to leave.
